Historical Context: Issued by the Republic of San Marino in 2015, this 10 Euro silver coin commemorates the 150th anniversary of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865), the 16th President of the United States. As the world's oldest republic, San Marino's choice to honor Lincoln reflects his universal appeal as a symbol of democracy, freedom, and national unity. This issuance highlights the enduring shared ideals between the two republics and Lincoln's profound global legacy, recognizing his impact on human rights and governance.
Artistry: The coin's design is attributed to Italian artist Antonella Napolione, known for her blend of classical portraiture and modern commemorative aesthetics. The reverse features a dignified bust of Abraham Lincoln, capturing his iconic likeness and solemn gravitas. The obverse displays the traditional San Marino coat of arms. Napolione's stylistic approach emphasizes clarity, detail, and emotional depth, ensuring Lincoln's image resonates powerfully.
Technical/Grading: Struck in .925 fine silver (22 grams, 34 millimeters), this coin exhibits excellent technical qualities typical of modern European commemorative issues. Key high-points for grading Lincoln's portrait include the highest contours of his hair, beard, and cheekbone. On the obverse, details of the crown, shield, and feathers within the San Marino coat of arms are critical. A full, sharp strike, often with a proof-like or brilliant uncirculated finish, is expected, showing crisp device-to-field separation and full detail in fine lettering and Lincoln's features.
